Establish a habit that trumps drinking. I started playing the piano a few years ago - generally practise in the evening. I read somewhere that recall is affected by alcohol, so have to avoid alcohol until later. This keeps me from having a glass of wine or a gin and tonic in the early evening. By the time I've finished playing it's often a bit too late to bother. I've never been an alcoholic, but without this mild deterrent I would probably have at least one drink most nights.
